Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Olivier De Troyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jermaine Liston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liston has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out-LL Cool J as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jermaine Liston was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
